Louisiana Civil Code

The Louisiana Civil Code is a comprehensive set of laws that govern civil matters in Louisiana, uniquely rooted in French and Spanish legal traditions. It covers various areas, including contracts, property, family law, and obligations. Unlike most U.S. states that follow common law, Louisiana operates under a codified system, meaning laws are written and organized in one place for easier reference. The Code aims to provide clarity and predictability in legal matters, ensuring that individuals and businesses understand their rights and responsibilities under the law.
